Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones, Me Before You) plays Kate, a nice little elf who works in a year-round store for Santa (Michelle Yeoh). The old Wham! favorite "Last Christmas" plays on a loop.
She meets Tom, an an angelic young man Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians) who works in a homeless shelter while working as a bike messenger.
But you'll have to see the movie to see the surprise plot bringing the song Last Christmas to life. Last Christmas I gave you my heart/ but the very next day you gave it away/ this year to save me from tears/ I'll give it someone special.
Some good talent comes together, written by Emma Thompson and directed by Paul Feig.
Better than expected! * * * * of 5
